Kaban ni D_BystandeR: MIBIYAHE NA SI NAP G. RAMA

This could yet be considered as the greatest "Obra Maestra" that Atty. JBJ has successfully penned to date. I always consider his views as that coming from the most respected columnist we ever have in our country today, since the time of Napoleon "Nap" G. Rama (he just died early this month at the age of 92), of The Philippines Free Press before martial law. His words or terminology used are easy to understand and you don't have to look for a dictionary to find the meaning of some words he used - all are plainly understandable to everybody. And to make his point drives home to the average reader, he uses the popular, easy to understand, "tagalog" words, like "manhid" and "malasakit." Alas, I am bound to say, without fear of contradiction, that we are gifted to have this man in our midst to analyze and clearly dissect the burning issue of the day.
